Doctor and Hedge Fund Trader

Krishna Y.

Educational Background

I am a senior medical student at St. George’s University School of Medicine, currently completing my clinical rotations in the United States. I earned my undergraduate degree from New York University (NYU), where I developed a strong foundation in quantitative reasoning, analytical thinking, and structured problem-solving.

My academic training includes advanced coursework and applied experience in:

Medicine, Finance, Business, Economics
Statistics and data analysis
Test-taking strategy for high-stakes standardized exams

As a medical student, I am trained to break down complex material into clear, logical steps and to teach concepts in a way that emphasizes understanding rather than memorization.

Tutoring & Teaching Experience

I have several years of experience teaching and tutoring students in one-on-one and small-group settings, both formally and informally.

My experience includes:

One-on-one tutoring for college and pre-medical students in biology, chemistry, and exam preparation
Peer teaching and mentorship within medical school, helping classmates master difficult concepts and prepare for exams
Teaching assistant–style roles, where I guided students through problem-solving, concept review, and exam strategy

I have worked with students ranging from high school through college and early graduate/professional levels, tailoring my approach based on age, academic background, and learning style.

Teaching Approach & Methods

My approach typically includes:

Identifying gaps in foundational understanding
Explaining concepts using simple language and real-world examples
Teaching step-by-step problem-solving frameworks
Emphasizing pattern recognition and exam strategy for standardized tests
Adapting sessions to visual, verbal, or practice-based learners

Because of my medical training, I am particularly effective at teaching complex material in a clear, organized way while keeping sessions focused and productive.
